RE: Honda Generators
The Handi 3000 is a lower cost 3000 than the EU3000 and is considerably noisier.

RE: Photo Bucket issues
My issue has nothing to do with the forums. I can,t log in. Their popup terms of service window pops up with the "Agree and Continue" window you click on. I click on it and nothing happens. That is as far as I get. I can see my log in name and my first page of pictures in a grey tone behind the terms of service window.

RE: Photo Bucket issues
They have a new terms of service popup that jumps up when I try to log into my albums. My first page of pictures and my sign in name show behind that window. That window has a "agree and continue" click on box I have been clicking on for three days and I have written to tech support 6 times. I get automated emails back with a survey asking how I liked the support service. Needless to say I tell them bad. Yesterday they asked for a screen shot so they could see what I was seeing. I sent it. Still won't work.

Take the roof cover off and look for critter nests around the fans.

Acrylic is very brittle also. Look for Lexan.

RE: Oil Check question
Most but not all shallow pan Cat 3126/C-7 engines take 19 quarts total including the filter. There is a history of improper length dipsticks for these engines. Mine was one that took 24 quarts to hit the full mark. It would blow oil all over the toad. Cat has a published procedure for calibrating the dipstick. Call the Cat tech support line and have them e-mail you the procedure or tell you where to find it online.

RE: newbe leveler fluid question
Be sure you have the jacks raised before you add fluid. You could overfill the reservoir if the jacks are down. They probably take ATF if it looks red or AW 32 hydraulic oil if it is clear.

RE: Help!! Safari with a 7.2L Cat
The 6BT is the mechanical 12 valve motor they built for quite a few years. A fine engine. Its little brother the 4BT has delivered a few billion packages in UPS and Fedex vans.

RE: Help!! Safari with a 7.2L Cat
The post about '98 5.9 Cummins engines having bad blocks is misleading and only partially true. In the first half of '98 Cummins was still building the 12 valve mechanical controlled motor and there is nothing wrong with them. The 5.9 ISB came out mid-year of '98 and is called the first generation ISB engine. It is a electronic controlled engine and has a VP-44 injection pump. There were some blocks that were made in Mexico that had some cracking problems. The problem blocks can be readily identified by a 53 cast in the side of the block. A internet search will find pictures of where to look. I had a first generation 5.9 in a Gulfstream Sun Voyager DP and it was not a 53 block and was a fine engine.
A registered '98 motorhome "could" well have been built on a '97 chassis and if so would be a 12 valve motor.

RE: Help!! Safari with a 7.2L Cat
I have a 7.2L C-7 Cat 350. Fuel mileage since new in a 32,000# 40' DP is 7.2 mpg over 34,000 miles. The mileage is calculated by the Engine ECM.

RE: Solar or Generator?
Generator first. Then solar. The generator will always give you power. Solar is not a reliable always available source of power. My solar system will give me 42a on a nice sunny day for 5-6 hours. When its cloudy or we are parked in a shady spot nearly nothing.

RE: Inverted dish mount
I use this for years before we got the rooftop automatic on our current coach. I don't believe you will get a multiple LNB dish to work this way.

RE: accumulator
A FWIW about accumulators. I just upgraded to a Surflo 5.7 gpm pump and the instructions said if your system has a accumulator remove or disable it.

RE: Should Tire Max Load = Trailer GVWR???
My point although not very clear was the chances are good that in a lot of cases the actual axle loading when ready to travel will often be higher than the GVWR.

RE: Should Tire Max Load = Trailer GVWR???
GVWR is just a number. What do the axles actually weight when you are loaded up for a normal outing? That is the number you should actually plan around.
